Nothing more effective for weight loss than getting violently ill. Feel better.

Nice benching!
Is it common to drop back down that low for board work or was something up with your pec? Haven't done much board work. |

Do you mean in weight? If so it's because I'm new to board work so it let's me feel the movement and get in the groove before dumping on a ton of weight.

Breakfast this morning: 3c uncooked spinach, medium banana, 1/4c oatmeal, 1/4c almond milk, 1/4 scoop protien powder in a blender. Made about 10oz. Plus an egg. I have been avoiding cereal for some time now (though it used to be a staple), and had a bowl of Quaker Life this past weekend. Made me feel borderline sick. I must be detoxing
Today: chest, shoulders, triceps, core. |

Life is delicious. However, I have cut out a lot of sugar and bleached flour since December. Despite going to the gym 4ish times per week, and getting stronger and adding muscle, I am ~5 pounds lighter than I was late last year. I think I also lost an inch off my waist. And I was never fat to begin with!

My sweet tooth is satisfied with a Hersey's Kiss after dinner and a Trutein shake at some point in the afternoon/evening. I used to be a glutton for sweets, but as my metabolism slows down (36 now), I have to put the brakes on. I have found that once you forgo the sugar and bread for a little while, you stop wanting it pretty quickly. I also cut out a lot (but not all, obviously) artificial sweeteners. I've also significantly upped my intake of leafy greens and coniferous veggies. Result: 182lbs -> 176lbs (6'2). 33" waist -> 32" waist. Not sure what my body fat % is, but I can max bench ~200lbs, so I'm not a complete waif. Also, I haven't been ill/sick in over six months. Who knows if that's related, but I'll take it. The downside is that I can no longer go to the grocery store and hide my disgust at the crap people are putting in their bodies.

I stopped caring about the awkward factor awhile ago. Glute bridges are no worse than the good/bad girl machine and no one is shamed for using that thing. |

If budget was not an issue and I wanted an Isolate I would use one of these Isolates:
San: http://sportsnutritiononline.com/pro...solate-supreme Allmax: http://store.lockoutforums.com/index...cts_id=2001530 Truenutrition: CFM http://www.truenutrition.com/p-1100-...-1lb-milk.aspx Cold Filtration: http://www.truenutrition.com/p-947-w...-1lb-milk.aspx I would just get a high quality concentrate or blend before getting something like Syntha 6. |

That's a pretty huge gap between your box/back squat. Are you seeing any carryover or are you just getting better at box squatting? The awkward factor is for everyone else. I wear those 80's style sweatpants with the elastic ankles... pretty much dickpants... nobody needs to see that **** |

The box squat breaks the eccentric/concentric chain. You have no stretch reflex out of the bottom. A2G has a HUGE HUGE HUGE stretch reflex. Once I get about 1" below parallel or so, it's actually easier for me to just go all the way down, I get massive rebound out of the bottom. There is no way if you're letting go of all of your stored energy you will box squat more, of course assuming your box squat is somewhat similar depth (i.e. not A2G free vs very high box). This also assumes you aren't rocking on the box, which is common. Finally, this assumes you aren't tentative when finding depth. If you're searching for depth but just plop on the box that's an advantage. Box squats are great, but need to be in their place. Louie Simmons says your box squat should be about 100 lbs less than your free squat. It isn't for me, but it's a significant difference. If it isn't, sit on the box longer, make it lower, and really focus both on not moving your torso to get started as well as really relaxing your quads. Last edited by SCGT; 03-05-2013 at 01:21 PM. |

Minimal carry over. My weakpoint in regular squats is the bottom and box squats (the way I do them, a slight rock to get off the box) make them very quad dominant. |

Well box squat deeper and stop rocking. Simple. Then you'll reap the benefits of a box squat. Otherwise it's just a silly exercise you do instead of squatting.
